"if you don't homeschool your kids--" sarah i don't even have kids and i'm watching anyway :P
I love to watch her videos tho 😭
same :)))
Lol me
A note for homeschool parents of neuro-divergent kids: It is ok that your homeschool day doesn't look this calm and peaceful. It is ok that you kid didn't read early or even on time. It is ok if your 10 year old is still struggling with their fine motor skills. I really enjoy watching Sarah's videos but I remember the early days of homeschooling kids with learning disabilities and how these picture perfect families made me feel like a total failure. It's ok if you and your child(ren) are on a different path.
Not just neuro-divergent kids. Reading is a skill that different kids will reach different ages, and you can't "make" a kid read before age 5 if they aren't ready. While some kids will read before age 5, most do not read until ages 6-8, and some children who have learning difficulties may be even older.
And to add, her oldest is FIVE. It's easy to be an 'expert' when your oldest is five. ;) Please don't fret if your homeschool day and your homeschoolers don't resemble this at all. We've been at this for 8 years now, with almost 6 students (and two more coming up the ranks) and I promisepromisepromise this picture-perfect, insta-worthy morning isn't entirely the whole picture.
@@myhomeremedies yes!!! thank you.
All children need to play a lot and reading early should not be the goal. If you read to them a lot and they naturally pick it up, great. otherwise, pressuring them is unhelpful.
I like how relaxed Sarah is about things, and I hope that reading for Calvin comes along naturally without pressure.
Extremely true! My son is 5, and he’s not there yet. He is read to, but he’s also autistic, had delayed speech, still struggling on certain sounds, and because of his delayed milestones as a baby, he still has difficulty with core strength and fine motor skills.
His sister is almost 4, and she’s writing more than him, can write the start of her name, has a better grasp of speech and her motor skills. But she wasn’t delayed like her brother was. So yes, she seems ahead in some areas.
But looking at both children individually, they both have come a long way. My son much more than his sister, even though she seems ahead of him in some areas.
I’ll leave the bulk of teaching for school, and help them develop and learn what they want at home through play and drawing and some workbooks.
I should also add, my son is very good at math, can count to 20, so basic addition and minus work, and loves numbers.
Kids develop at their own pace.
Couldn’t agree with this comment anymore! All children are different! Can be quite easy to watch this video as a homeschool Mum and feel like a total failure with where your children are at. Each family is different. Not every family has their husband to hand but is rather out of the home working. So lovely to see Ivy being able to read so well, and lovely to see how homeschooling works for Sarah’s family but know each child will get there in their own time. You can teach every child in the exact same way and they may get things at different times. It’s okay.
I would love discipline videos and how you’ve observed kids can be different personality wise and how discipline will be different.
Idk, that can be so controversial. I know she doesn’t shy away from controversy, but it also gives away so much about her kids strengths and weaknesses, and I really don’t see her doing that online. If she did I would really enjoy it too, but I doubt it!
A year ago??? 6 months? A little while ago I saw a video she did talking a little bit about what forms of discipline and parenting tactics that she agrees with and doesn't agree with.
She does talk about and define discipline in her “things I don’t let my kids do” video. ☺️
Repent , the kingdom of God is at hand , read your bible for yourself, and pray , there is nothing our there in the world ,ask God to guide and protect you ,if you have any question please ask me.,
A few smacks around the face, doesn't hurt anyone...
That is great…little suggestion for Calvin, when he’s done with tracing, you could reuse the book later for learning cutting with scissors on the dotted lines…they love that!
I was homeschooled for most of elementary and all of junior high. While I enjoy going to public school now, I am SOSOSO glad my parents homeschooled me. I was able to learn at my own pace, I’m a lot closer to my mom and my brothers because of it, and I was able to choose a lot of the curriculums I did! But without a doubt, the biggest thing was this: THEY DIDN’T MAKE ME READ THINGS I DIDN’T WANT TO!! I know so many people who hate reading because school turned reading into a chore for them, which is so sad. My parents bought lots of fun books, went to the library often, and let me choose my own novel studies from a list. I owe so much of my love of reading to them.
Lucky 🍀 I didn’t have a choice my dad worked and my mom went to school & then worked later
Your life is almost the exact same to mine. My mom is the one I owe for instilling in me a love for reading and writing. Frequent library visits and reading fun, colorful, and sometimes hilarious books were a big part of my childhood. I attended public high school, and was amazed at how academically advanced I was compared to many of my peers. Anything that engages the mind or is intellectually challenging is thrilling to me, and learning is a constant love of mine. I want to instill the same love into my kids one day.
This makes me so happy. I hope my girls feel like this when they’re older. 💕
Thank you for these tips and sharing your experience!!!
As a new home school mum to 3 kids I really enjoyed this! Especially about how you teach your kids to read. My older two were in public school so already knew how to read and I have been stressing about how to teach my youngest!
Sarah! Thank you so much for including us in your curriculum lineup. It's so exciting to see how your family implements it into your homeschool rhythms.
Let us know if there's anything we can do to helpful :)
Hey, just an idea: the Oregon symphony orchestra does these videos where they use one instrument to read a book and mucision playing the instrument talks about their instrument and plays a classical piece for the kids. They are awesome: highly recommend.
@@SarahTherese here is a playlist of them: ruclips.net/p/PL8IRTwF42ySyXMSKcvL7MtZhuOoC7c_DQ
@@joytheswimmer thank you so much for linking this! I can't wait to share with my kids!
You guys have an amazing family and a wonderful routine going. I will definitely take up some of your ideas for my future kiddos.
I was homeschooled too, and one thing my mom did (which I want to do as well) is she wrote/invented her own supplementary teaching material. This let her get creative with her lessons--I remember her including references to movies, music, books, and pets in her additions to English grammar and composition. I plan to homeschoool my children one day, and I definitely want to utilize my mom's ideas while making up some things of my own!
Even though I don’t have kids yet I love learning about parenting ❤️❤️❤️
The way Eli just casually walked across the table to get to her seat 😍😭
We have been homeschooling our children for nine years and I guarantee that the longer you homeschool, the more you begin to see that as the parent you don't have all the answers for educating. Our firstborn read very early and had the ability to catch on and memorize quickly. Having multiple children allows a parent to see that it's actually not how driven we are as parents to educate our kids, but that children all learn at their own pace and interest level. I'm all about using opportunities to teach our children how to count, learn colors, the alphabet, etc... but realistically, I'm not in favour of children younger than five having a structured learning time each day. I'll just be brutally honest that our homeschooling NEVER looked like that; someone was/is always distracted, fussing or struggling. That's real life!
I only WISH I had what Sarah shows in this video before I was 5. Structure for play time and play time being a fun way to slowly learn things is how children learn. They do it in preschool. My parents never did anything with me and my siblings before 5 and we ALL struggled through school. We eventually homeschooled and as beneficial as that was, we were behind in education (our public school sucked) and we had to actually learn how to be around each other all day. It made us stronger. But I see my sister doing things like this with her kids and they’re SO smart. And it isn’t even nearly as structured as this video!
oh gosh yes, we are ll just working it out as we go aren't we!
Thank you for this comment. I feel like trying to stick to a schedule has made me such a controlling and not fun mom who doesn’t listen to her kids enough. Thank you. I’ve been very unsure of where to place expectations. This helps a lot.
Thank you so much for your comment ❤ My daughter is 5, I started homeschooling her at 4. My 3 yo son picks up on what I teach her and it’s fun to see how much they’re learning. But our days are NEVER this peaceful and smooth. I used to feel like a failure watching videos on picture perfect families. It was comments like yours that helped me see that I can do this even though our days don’t look as perfect. 🙏🏼
I was homeschooled all twelve years and I believe my mom did a fantastic job of it. Her main focus was to get me to be a critical thinker and be able to problem-solve independently as I grew up. She read to me throughout my childhood and got me reading proficiently on my own at a very young age. I think that's a major reason why I'm such a bookworm and I'm so grateful for that. I attended a once a week homeschool co-op with other homeschool kids in the area for all of our extra-curricular activities like foreign language, sports, music lessons, writing and science labs, computer classes, and lots of fun, educational field trips. I am so thankful I was homeschooled. I don't feel like I missed out on anything with all by not attending a traditional school. In fact, I believe homeschooling set me several steps ahead of a lot of the public school kids I knew growing up because I got to go at a pace that was right for me, which helped me to retain things better. And I liked that I got to have my education be in a Christian-based setting. I can't recommend homeschooling enough. It's a lot of work, but it's absolutely worth it.
Repent , the kingdom of God is at hand , read your bible for yourself, and pray , there is nothing our there in the world ,ask God to guide and protect you ,if you have any question please ask me.,
I’m considering homeschooling my own kids, I’d love to hear specifically how your parents encouraged critical thinking skills?
@@laurenjarek-simard8553 Put simply, if I had questions about things, they would say things like "After reading _____, what do you think it meant?" or they would let me figure things out on my own, and if I needed help they would show me, but always made me try it on my own first. They allowed me to view the world through my own eyes, not theirs. They let me come to my own conclusions about things without their opinions getting in the way and influencing how I felt. I was never handed easy answers. I had to actually use my own brain. I would definitely get frustrated sometimes if the answers didn't come easily, but I feel like it helped me to be frustrated and have to think it through versus just being told the answer. Curiosity was always encouraged in our household. The more curious about things, the better. Open-ended questions were also something my mom liked to ask. It encouraged rich conversations that made my brain spark with theories and ideas, and only made me more curious. There were never any boundaries to what I could learn/discover.
...and yea, Oooook, how's that job at McDonalds doing for ya?!?!?
@@Chihuahuauno1 I would hope you're not making assumptions about me because I was home schooled...I am currently working on my fourth college degree at the moment, run two businesses, and work a day job that pays me well enough to put myself through college. I don't work at McDonalds, never have. But I certainly would never shame anyone who did or does because it's an honest job. There is no shame for working in fast food. I would encourage you to not make assumptions about people based on your own perceptions.
I don't understand why children have to be able to read before they start school. In Germany our kids start school at the age of 6-7. Won't they be bored if they know how to read and write beforehand? Also the brain has a certain capacity (of course with a certain range), but they wont become Einstein when they know how to read at the age of 4 unless their brain has the capacity to become Einstein. Maybe Sarah Therese has only Einstein Babys, but don't stress your children over what they have to know before they start school.
From a neuroscience and psychological point of view there absolutely no need or benefit for children to learn read, calculate or have structured education time before the age of 6. They need safety, communuty, physical activity. I do not like people sharing homeschooling similar to this that have no evidence beside the adult's / parent's idea how everything shall go. It gives the idea to others this has anything to do with neurotypical development of children, gives the wrong idea.
@@viktorianagy964 I mean, I agree with you, but I think you're missing the forest for the trees. It's beautiful that she's homeschooling, her children seem happy and engaged, and they will be fine.
I was homeschooled for 4 years. I also did boarding school, secular private school, christian school, and public school, so I have a lot to compare to (we moved around a lot). Homeschooling was awesome. My parents made sure I was involved in social activities like a theater group and girlscouts. My dad also filled a lot of my extra time with visiting museums and encouraging my personal hobbies like art.
I may homeschool my own kids. It depends on what schools are available I my area when I eventually have them.
I was homeschooled and I LOVED every second of it! The freedom to study at my own pace, every subject ,with real life hands on experiences! And, I never felt like I missed out on the social aspect either, my parents made sure of that. I was in 4-H, the local homeschool group, and spent the summer’s volunteering in our local hometown 💃
Knowing personal information is so so important. You would not believe how many children get to age 10 and don't know their own address or a parent's phone number.
i’m kinda excited to see the kids make videos like “what it was like with a mom youtuber” like seeing another perspective :)))
I'm guessing their lack of privacy will be a hot topic
@@katehb6038 I’m guessing their parents creative ways in bringing in money will be a hot topic. I’m guessing learning how to be real 100% of the time will be a hot topic. I’m guessing the way their parents protect their privacy while also showing SMALL parts of their lives will be a hot topic. Please. This is a healthy family. Unlike SO many who send their children to public school to only see them maybe 2 hours a day and have to fight for their attention on the weekends and have to fight to have some kind of an influence since they’re never around their children. Sarah is doing great. Her children are happy. (At this age, I doubt they’d know how to pretend to be happy on camera. They don’t know the difference as they’ve been raised with a camera during certain activities every so often.) Too bad Sarah is too busy living her life to respond to your unnecessary comment about her children.
@@AandM8 ok.... no one said it wasn't a healthy or happy family. obviously sarah loves her kids and they are very lucky to be in the position they are in with the parents that they have. however, that doesn't change that fact that these kids will grow up on camera without their consent. whether that's ok or not and the level of harm this might bring them later in life is up for debate but you can't just ignore this and pretend like it's not a huge factor in their lives because everything else seems great. all kate said was that their lack of privacy will be a hot topic and she is completely right.
I didn’t start homeschooling until high school. School was never easy for me and I wish I could have started way sooner! I have two girls, one who is 3 and a newborn! I plan to homeschool both! Already doing a lot with my 3 year old. But your tips and what you use will definitely help me out, thank you so much. Always love your videos!!
Def want to homeschool when I am a parent
I loved this video! Can you make a homeschool series on your channel?? 👀
I’m always looking for new ideas and inspiration in homeschooling my special needs son.
You should look at Shawna Wingerts different by design blog, she's homeschooling two special needs sons, both teenagers now so has a lot of experience, and has a lot of good ideas. There's also a podcast Homeschooling outside the box, with a mum of a special needs homeschooler.
I have been praying for the Lord to provide my husband and I with the finances to be able to home school. 🙏🏼
I've been homeschooling five years and aside from stationery, I've done it very cheaply. So long as you have the internet, books and a library card you can homeschool pretty much for free or very cheap. There are tonnes of free websites, Khan Academy, Easy Peasy All in one homeschool etc. Books you already own can be used for copy work, learning to read etc, and you can find manipulatives like shells, sticks, stones to use for counting and basic facts.
Heavenly Father, I ask that You richly bless this family with the opportunity for the parents to teach their children. Bless their time, bless their finances, Lord. This mother wants to teach her children in Your ways, as You have commanded us to do. Father God, hear her prayer and provide a way. In Your holy Name I pray, King Jesus, amen.
Literally dropped everything I was doing to watch this! So good! Thank you Sarah!
Unfortunately, homeschooling isn't allowed in Germany. I would love to homeschool my 3 little ones.
You could always add some homeschooling activities into your day during school holidays.
@@stephanieseahorse7931 that's exactly what we're doing. The kids love it.
Super interesting! We won't be homeschooling our kids but I still love to see how you do it, i have an education degree so I am interested in this in general. xoxo.
As a music teacher, I LOVE that you put an emphasis on music in your home schooling!
I would love to homeschool but I also love to work and (as bad as it sounds) have some time away from family so we can all be around other people. For me, it makes hanging out after school/ on the weekends and the summer that much more special and allows for mental breaks. You're doing great Sarah!
I hear ya! It’s a nice change to work. I’m a montessori teacher so I’m excited my kids get to go to school there. I’m home with my kids until my 8 month old walks and it’s great, but I’m getting ready to go back
I don’t work, but one child goes to daycare, the other is in kinder. And honestly, it’s the best for us. It gives me a chance to reset, and get some jobs around the house done.
I’m also pregnant with baby #3, and had really bad morning sickness, so our house has been putrid. So nice to see some areas of the house coming back together.
I should also add my children are Autistic, and so am I, plus I have ADHD, so can be short tempered, and have a lot of difficulty with execution function. So some things that most people find easy, is difficult for me, and at times for my children too. Our home is rarely this calm, but we do our best with the life God gave us.
Sarah does help me remember to relax and enjoy my children more though. She’s an inspiration (even though I’m older, haha)
I love how you don’t get irritated when your kids are talking in the background!
Me watching while making homeschool curriculum.
me too hahaha
Started homeschooling last fall: 6th grade and preschool. In the fall I will teach 7th, K, and preK. I love it. I wish I had done it sooner!
Homeschooling Mama from the UK here!🙋🏻♀️ Loved this video, I find it so interesting looking into how other families do their homeschool. I wasn’t home educated myself but I love the education rhythm I have created for my 2 daughters. We follow a Charlotte Mason inspired homeschool method as I believe it’s the perfect way of learning a broad range of topics through faith and great books🥰
It’s always interesting to see how different people homeschool. We really don’t start anything formal until close to 5 or so. We do puzzles, color, read together, climb trees, just a lot of play. My kids spend 3-4 hours a day outside. There are tons of learning opportunities in that. I tend to wait until my kids are closer to five to start writing, addition, and reading(aside from alphabet and letter sounds, etc ). Statistically, by 3rd grade all kids are about the same level regardless if they were early or later learners.
Thanks! Your comment was reassuring to me, as my son is almost 5 and i haven’t taught him to read yet!! But i know he will do well as i intentionally start with him here soon:)
@@stephanieo8925 the vast majority of kids aren’t reading at 5 and that’s ok! The beauty of homeschooling is you can teach your kids when they are ready.
Thank you for this comment lol I felt like a awful parent for not teaching any of this stuff yet
This looks like unschooled type of teaching. There are different kinds! Unschooling, Charlotte Mason, Montessori, etc. Take a quiz online to see what you align with 🥰
@@hisloveiseternal1 I’m not an unschool homeschooler. I just prefer to delay formal academics. My older two boys are finishing up 2nd grade today. We use Abeka and Christian Light, both are advanced compared to PS standards. I just believe up through about Kindergarden, kids don’t need formal schooling to learn. Play is so incredibly important and I feel like we lack that in our world now days.
Love how the dad was super involved with the kids as well as mom! Very sweet ❤️❤️❤️
I learned how to read using that book too! Actually, your whole method sounds a lot like how my parents taught me. My dad used to read to us a bunch when we were little and still does (I'm 15). I remember I joined a 3rd grade book club in 1st grade, and I was allowed to stay because I could read just as well as everyone else there.
Thank you so much!!! This was so helpful. After I got half way through this video I went to the store and bought an abacus and came back to finish it off. 😂
I used the American Learning Series when I taught kindergarten at a traditional Christian school. My classes could always read by October. I knew the author of the series She was the wisest lady ever!!!
Is this the same as American language series? I was looking for what you said and couldn't find it but American language series popped up.
That's so cool that you are teaching sign language to your kids! It is something that I will definitely do when I decide to have children! Sign language and English (because I my first language is Portuguese) is the things that I want to teach my babies!
I was homeschooled from 5th grade all the way until graduation and I loved it. We did a variety of different curriculum. However, it didn’t work as well for my younger sister so she ended up going to high school. I think it’s really great you’re starting to teaching your children young :)
This is such awesome content. Seriously wish I had this video 10 years ago as a homeschooling mama. My kids are older now but great stuff!
I am three months pregnant and kinda nervous about the next year, but so excited to teach and nurture my future children. Absolutely want to homeschool
You are such a great mom! I hope you're feeling well ❤
I dont have kids, but i just love watching this video because i am currently following the education of becoming a teacher! V exciting:)
Nice video, but as a homeschooling veteran who just finished my 13th year of homeschooling...my oldest just finished her first year of college), I wanted to say that while it is wonderful Ivy was reading well and writing and adding/subtracting by age 5, please be aware that not all children are capable of that and some will not be developmentally ready to read/write/add/subtract until age 6-8 (and some children with learning difficulties, even older). Age 5 is really, really young, and not all children are yet ready for those academic skills that those ages. Some children won't be ready until they are older.
That's how I learned to read too!
I was at a "2nd grade AR reading level" by Kindergarten and it was a huge jumpstart to my education.
Ivy is incredible, she is such a smart little girl. I absolutely understand that you are a proud mom
I wonder if you´re concerned that you and Kieran won´t be able to teach you children advanced science, literature, math etc. Like the things you learn in higher grades. I´m from Germany and home schooling is forbidden here so I´m not into the topic but I think it´s really interesting.
There are websites, like Khan Academy, that teach all of that stuff. My eldest was homeschooled all the way through and had no problem getting into college. There are tons of resources out there for homeschoolers:)
@@flaxandfibrefarmhouse oh that´s cool :)
You don’t have to already know everything to teach it. You just have to be willing to learn along with them. Remember, even public school teachers have teacher manuals that are more often than not scripted. They tell the teacher what to write in the board, what to say/questions to ask, and what pages to pass out, etc.
@@tiffanywheeler48 I totally get what your saying but in order to become a teacher and be "qualified by the state" to teach you must study the subject you want to teach and study how to tach correctly.
I could never teach Biology at nearly the leven a Biology theacher could even if I read more about it.
Once children reach subjects that are out of their parents knowledge, most move on to online schooling or hybrid homeschooling where an expert in those fields teaches the subject.
I love that you incorporate music into your homeschooling! I was in a homeschool band for six or seven years, and it was awesome! It really set me up to be in college band/orchestra/choir, and I loved the experience!
My husband and I were both homeschooled amd we loved it! We even met at a homeschool prom! We are due with our sweet baby in December and plan to homeschool!
I love that story! Blessings and Prayers to your family and sweet little one on the way
I would love to homeschool my kids, unfortunately we don’t live in a country where it is allowed :(
Same here ! 🙄
That's terrible. Where do you live that homeschooling isn't allowed?
@@Shadeadder in Switzerland ;) it is allowed but you have to be actually a teacher and I’m not :(
Such an inspiring video! I babysit my almost 3 year old granddaughter 2 days a week and want to make sure our time together is extra fun and valuable! Some great ideas in the video. ❤️
Whenever i look at your kitchen island it always takes me back to when you thought you were actually getting a waterfall in your kitchen 😂😂😂 . Aamazing videos you are such an amazing mama. More love anf prayers for you , your kids and Kieran(sorry if spelled his name wrong).
Do you know "Peter and the Wolf"? It's a childrens book combined with the instruments of the orchestra. I listened to this a lot as a child and loved it. The music is by Prokofjew.
Sorry, for mistakes in my writing and greetings from europe. ☺️
Oh yes! I used this for my 6 year old this year. I absolutely loved this story as a child and I couldn’t wait to share it, along with it’s beautiful music with my son ☺️
So excited to homeschool my 4 month old when she gets older!
I cannot wait to homeschool my kids! My husband was homeschooled and he loved it. It allowed him more freedom and he was truly able to be himself and do the things he loved! Public school is just not for me anymore, it has gone downhill!
THANK YOU! 🥳🎊🎉🙌🏻👏🏻 Perfect timing! I'm about to have 3 kiddos under 3 and we want to homeschool. My oldest (2.5 yrs) is so ready to learn - already know colors, shapes, animals, the alphabet, and numbers up to 20! 😅
Awesome! Mine is 18 months and he knows all that as well, minus the alphabet and numbers!! You can do so much when homeschooling 👏🏻😍
Homeschooling is so interesting. In retrospect, my parents like the idea of homeschooling, but when I was the right age, it didn't work for their lifestyle.
I used the same book to teach my 4 kids to read back in the 90s and early 2000s! So glad to see that book is still a thing, because it was so extremely effective!
Is there an updated link to the blog that has all this information? It said the website expired when I tried clicking on the link
We use "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons" too. What a God-send. It has been SO wonderful and helpful for us and I don't know how we could have done reading without it. I tried teaching my daughters with a different language arts curriculum, and it was a MESS.
I’m a public school teacher- this all sounds great! I have done similar work with my now 3 year old!
I am homeschooled and love it! I was in public school until 2nd grade. I never want to go back. I have so much freedom, to learn about the Bible, learning at my own pace, and being able to work on my decor and furniture business. I never feel like I am missing out on things.
I love homeschool videos. Such a dream of mine.
Hopefully allowed in the next years.
I was homeschool my whole way through and I absolutely loved it! I love seeing how other mommas homeschool, it’s always great to see another perspective!!
Yes!! Please more homeschooling videos! I am currently pregnant with my first and am super interested in homeschooling but obviously want to make sure I do it right! Also, I love your videos so much and look up to you as a mother in many ways ✨
I totally think that homeschooling can be such a great option for learning. It’s such a safer place for learning minds, where they can learn at their own pace without the constant pressure surrounding the public school space. Love the many ideas you gave for everyone. So many great resources 🌸
Hi! Just wondering if you are planning on homeschooling through grade school or letting them go to public school?
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate and LOVE this video!!! Thank you a million times over!
I want to homeschool my children, and I’ve started with what I have noticed works, but I am so lost because I wasn’t homeschooled, I don’t know anyone that was, and don’t know any parents that do. I am SO SO LOST about it all. Thank you!!!
Litto left handed babies 😭 Ivy has great handwriting
I’m not hating or against homeschooling I’m just wondering how kids see people and friends as if they’re not at school they don’t have that socialisation aspect of things?
It is a common misconception that homeschoolers are socialy awkward. I have actually read studies that indicated they are "better" at reading social cues etc. But you will definitely have shy/akward kids homeschooling just like you would see shy/akward kids at school. Also most homeschoolers have more time for extra activities like sports, art or music classes were they do socialize. Hope this helps a little :)
Totally agree with Marissa's comment! I was homeschooled all the way through and didn't feel like I "missed out." Homeschooled kids have plenty of opportunities to socialize: sports, music class, art class, 4-H club, church, youth group, Awana clubs, local homeschool groups, and various other activities, plus the good ol playing with neighborhood kids. Of course, it is important for the parents to realize that it is their responsibility to make sure their kids have access to these opportunities. :)
Beyond the extracurriculars that Marissa talked about, I also know quite a few folks who join homeschool "co-ops", which is a group of families who follow the same/similar curriculum and meet up 1-2 times a week to do a group lesson together and share what they're learning at home. Also (for families who attend) church is a great opportunity for kiddos to be around other kiddos at least 1x/week. There's lots of opportunities for kids to get that social interaction outside of a traditional school setting!
This is what people think but it’s 💯 wrong. I was homeschooled until college and I had more time to be social because all my work was done by 10 or 12. I did more extracurricular and was in a professional ballet company which I would not have been able to do.
& you know in public school the teacher always "shh's" you & says "you're not here to socialize" 🤪 there are SO many opportunities for homeschoolers with clubs, groups, activities, it's not an issue.
With how today’s world is and what happens at schools, I definitely am going to be homeschooling my children throughout, until they can truly make a decision about possibly going to school. (Hopefully I can do a good enough job so they won’t want to) but, this is super helpful!
I absolutely love watching your videos! Would be awesome if you started doing a homeschooling series 😍 you amaze me Sarah! Your like a real life superwoman! How you manage your busy life and homeschooling on top of it. Seeing your videos gives me such motivation and energy to get organised and be the best parent I can be to my son 💙
I'm seeing a lot of studying do you ever do classes outside or do any physical activities like when I went to school I had recess or gym class
Yes!!! Please do more of these!!! 😍
Wow, what an incredible video! I didn't realise what homeschooling actually involved 😄
There are so many ways to do it. Unschooling, Charlotte Mason, Montessori, Waldorf, interest led, Eclectic, a more traditional way like this. It's great because you can choose the right style for your family.
@@keirajones5062 That's awesome 😄
Your kids are so stinking cute! Elisabeth looks like her daddy!! Precious precious kiddos!
That’s So Impressive 😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️
If you can update with more videos of what things you utilize as you homeschool that would be so great!
Loved this video!
Wow this was incredibly helpful! I keep putting it off because I’m so intimidated! Thanks for the encouragement to just teach my son to read. I already have the lesson book! Please do more of these in the future as you add more to your homeschool routine!♥️♥️
Kieran’s light blue shirt is so good! I love light blue!
I'm starting to consider homeschooling my 3 year old girl when the time comes, since I haven't heard great things about the school system in our county, so this was really interesting!
Also, she enjoyed watching your video with me and commented on your vacation coming up during calendar time (we also have a vacation coming up)!
Recent studies have shown that one predicter of verbal acquisition is how much a child is spoken to whether that is just conversation or having books read aloud to them.
True!
Not even married yet, but in 1,5 years and planning to homeschool as much as possible (we will be living in Portugal). This video was great! Thank you so much 😍
God bless you and your family 🙏
I love the video. I get that its hard to show how you homeschool when you have really good set up for it - husband home a lot, kids that cooperate and are close in age - without looking braggy. Every family is different! My day could not possibly look like this, but it isn't worse because it isn't picture perfect! Also it is so much different in the US, where i live it is not homeschooling when you do stuff with your toddlers 😅 all the best to you and your family
You’re doing a great job teaching. If a remember right, you said that your mom was French . Did you learn as a kid and Are you gonna teach some French also to your children? Just wandering 😊
Oh my gosh. Watching this, I just remembered I think I learned to read with that 100 Easy Lessons book. Goodness gracious all these like painful memories came back from not wanting to do it. 😂
Love this video! I have always planned and dreamed of homeschooling my kids and we just started doing more structured stuff. I have a 4 & 2yo and one due in 2weeks.
I have been useing Foundation Phonics by master book for reading. Oh my goodness, I cannot recommend it enough! It's bible based and it really is so good.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I was homeschooled, as were/are my 8 younger siblings. I loved it, loved the flexibility of it and the closeness it produced with my siblings. My husband and I don't have babies yet (praying for this!) but I do babysit my nephew who just turned 2. Have started him with the basics, but this video gives me great ideas of what to do next! Thank you for your inspiration. You're an awesome mama and you're doing a phenomenal job!
I’ve been waiting for this video for so long 💗
Me too oooo!
Not a parent yet but love all your videos of this style... learning so much from you about parenthood.. thank you!
What a beautiful family 🤍 thank you for video
I don’t have kids eat but I hope to be able to home school when I do! ❤️ At least for preschool!
I have a 6 month old and baby on the way, and we have always had the desire to homeschool. Even though it’s a ways off this gets me so excited!🤍
Love you guys can do it together as a couple so awesome my husband helps when he is home but he has to work away to provide a lot but all in Gods plan and what works for us ❤️
The best readers ever are the Biff, Chip and Kipper books. They are hands down 100% better than the Bob books. They are expensive, but they are so worth it, especially if you have multiple children.
You are such an inspiration. I love all your videos - on minimalism and homeschooling. Thank you 😊
You are doing a great job! I would like to see more videos on parenting 🥰
I am a homeschooling mom. I actually went to college for early childhood education and when I got pregnant with my first, my husband and I decided I would stay home and homeschool. I like the freedom of it and the ability to teach my child at their pace, level, and personalize to their interests. I love seeing what other homeschooling parent do with their kids.
Have been waiting for this video 😍😍 very excited to watch it and i am sure i will enjoy it , thank you Sara , great .❤
Edit : i just finished watching and i did enjoy it , Think you again .❤
Kids are absolute sponges, and they LOVE to learn. You just have to find something that’s appropriate for their age and their level. You’re doing a great job Sarah!
I was homeschooled pre k through high school and I remember loving using Bob Books as a kid! I’m hoping to homeschool my kids one day too and I love how you have such an encouraging learning environment for your kids!
Is your husband actually undercover blippi?
